  • New hires are eligible on the first day of the month following 30 days of employment.
  • Current employees who become newly eligible for benefits or experience a qualifying life event have 30 days from the applicable change to enroll in benefits.

Employees are eligible to apply for short-term disability benefits for disabilities that occur on or after the first day of the month following six months of eligibility.

New employees, as well as current employees who are newly eligible or have a qualifying life event, have 30 days from the date of hire or change in eligibility status to enroll in benefits.

Covering your family members

Coverage is also available to an employee’s eligible dependents including:

  • Legal spouse. You may be required to pay a surcharge if your spouse has access to other medical benefits through an employer – see page 9 of the 2025 benefits enrollment guide.
  • Children under age 26, born to or lawfully adopted by you or your spouse, and/or a child for whom you or your spouse is the legal guardian.
  • Disabled children age 26 or older, born to or lawfully adopted by you or your spouse, who are incapable of self-support, provided the disability began before age 26.
  • A child for whom healthcare coverage is required through a qualified medical child-support order or other court or administrative order.

New for 2025

After you enroll, you will be asked for documents to confirm your dependent is eligible to receive coverage. Some examples include: Marriage certificate, birth certificate, adoption decree and certification from your spouse’s employer whether medical insurance is available to them.
